The Impact Of Reconstruction Filters On 99mtc Myocardial Spect Imaging

This prospective and retrospective study was undertaken to investigate the effect of filtering on image quality and functional parameters in myocardial SPECT using various reconstruction filters and their associated parameters. In the image quality study (a prospective study), a cardiac phantom syst...

Based on the SPECT studies, the calculated background count to target count ratio (BTR) for each T/B was 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 respectively (T/B = 1.0 was excluded).
